In a few days Senator John Sher-
man is to deliver an address at
Nashville, Tennessee, and by many
it is construed that the event is to
be the commencement of the next
presidential campaign. To-day
Senator Sherman is the most for
midable candidate in the republi-
can party for the presidential NOM
nation. He is one of our most
sagacious public men and his con-
spicuous ability has been manifest
ed from the time he entered politics.
His campaign in the South is to be
conducted mainly by those who
served under him while secretary
of the treasury, and they are already
Boosting of their leaders strength.
Several of the southern states it is
claimed will be carried by him, and
the most complete understanding
is said to exist between him and
Edmunds. Senator Hawley is to
take care of Connecticut with fiat
tering prospect of being second on
the ticket should Sherman be NOM
mated. Senator ingalls, of Kansas,
who is now president of the senate,
it is intimated, will be chosen to
present the name of the Ohio states
man for the presidency in the con-
vention. The opening gun is to he
fired in Tennessee for the reason
that Governor Bob Taylor, n dem
ocrat, has betrayed his party and
become q Sherman boomer, and
his career as a democrat ended.
Meanwhile Blaine is by no means
idle. 1t is useless to deny that he
has strong hold upon the people
of the West, but unless he can re-
ceive the nomination in such a
manner as to practically make it
an unanimous tender he will hardly
accept the honor. Many hold him
responsible for the defeat of the re-
publican party in 1884, but it was
due more to the imprudence of his
friends than to himself that by =
majority in New York of but a lit
tie more than a thousand votes he
and his party were retired from the
administration of national affairs.
Unless some unlocked for event
occurs John Sherman will be the
next nominee of the republican
party for the presidency and his
opponent will in all likelihood be
Grover Cleveland.

These rates will be subject to
the "joint western classification, "
which is adopted by all roads be-
tween Chicago and the Missouri
river. and differs slightly from the
transcontinental classification. In
making comparisons between the
new tariff and the present one it
should be remembered that the
present tariff is obsolete and has
not been in force since the dissolu-
ton of the transcontinental asso-
citation and the rate war which fol-
lowed. 1t now only serves as a
basis on which to cut rates. The
first class under the new schedule
includes dry goods, clothing, boots
and shoes and merchandise gener-
ally on which the freight does not
cut much of a figure in the cost to
the consumer.
In agricultural implements the
rate is increased 222 per cent. and
are now in the fifth class. Barbed
wire is also in the same class, and
freight is increased 265 per cent.
The "reshipped" rate of the 0. r.
e. N. will be cancelled on the 1st
of April, and the only rate will be
the local tariffs. These have not
been fixed yet, but cannot be made
any higher under the law than
they were on January /, 1885.
No action has been taken beyond
discussion relative to the east
bound freights from Pacific termi-
nails to the east. The principal
traffic is wool, salmon and lumber,
and each has to be treated differ
emily.
Wool is going to be a difficult
problem to solve. The Union Pa
cific has considerable local traf-
fic. Under the new law it cannot
charge more for wool to New York
from Idaho and eastern Oregon
than from Portland. To secure the
Portland wool ocean competition
must be met, and the question to
consider is, which will be the more
profitable? TO transport all the
wool tributary to their lines at a
low rate or to charge local tariff
from interior points and let the
wool at terminals 60 east by sea.
In lumber the Union Pacific has
pursued very liberal policy and
Portland has been so favorable that
she could compete successfully in
Colorado and Nebraska with man
ufacturers in cities a thousand
miles nearer these places than
Portland. 1t is thought that Den
yer will be now as far east as they
can compete.

The firm of Baumberger Il Frank,
doing a general business at Baker
City, Oregon, and until recently at
Weiser City, Idaho, has failed. Lii
abilities are about 100000, OF
which $62 900 is due in San Fran
cisco, $4,000 in Portland and the
remainder in the east. Failure is
attributed to losses in the Weiser
branch. which amount, they say, to
100000. The firm offers to settle
at Is cents on the dollar, but Port
land creditors refuse the offer AS
sets of the firm are said to be $780,
600.

It seems hardly possible that
the suit instituted by the United
States, at the instigation of Special
Agent Caldwell, against F. r. Good
ing, to recover damages for cutting
timber upon government lands can
. be prosecuted to successful termi-
nation on the part Of the plaintiff.
During the stay of Special Agent
Caldwell here last summer a good
deal of his time was passed in the
comfortable depths of ! reclining
chair upon the dancing pavilion at
the Hot Springs, and the daily con-
temptation of the weired and gor-
geous scenery that surrounds this
ever-popular resort so filled his
poetic heart that he could not tear
himself away except to play the
gallant to the young lady visitors
that frequent the springs during
the hot summer months. This and
the perusal of light literature was
his main occupation; but after
leaving here he floods the depart
ment with charges of violations of
the timber laws and causes suit to
be brought against parties for dep
relations committed that he could
have little or no knowledge of from
personal investigation. The quail
ity of timber cut by Mr.. Gooding
was of class not prohibited by
the government, the object of the
department to prevent the removal
of timber under eight inches in
diameter being the preservation of
the young and growing trees so as
to provide a supply for the future
when such trees shall have matured.
The instructions 20 special agents
saws:
But it is not the intention to prohibit the
cutting or removal of any full-grown tree
belonging to a species which, WHEN NATURE.
does not exceed eight inches in diameter,
or of any mature tree nor Of trees of any
description, even if less than eight inches
in diameter, if it can be shown that there
were no other trees in that vicinity.
The species of trees cut by Mr..
GoOding is that commonly known
as "pole pine," which thrives but a
few years and then dies. 1t is of
the same family as the "tamarack"
that is found in the Blue and Cas-
cade mountains of Oregon, and like
it grows almost as thick as hair on
a dogs back in the locality in which
it is found. 1t is of no value as a
timber growing tree; of but little
value for fire wood, and the only
good use it can be put to is to make
charcoal of it. A very large pro-
portion of the wood cut by Mr..
Gooding was dead before the AK of
the newer struck it. 1t is said that
there are a number of suits to be
commenced against parties here for
cutting timber upon government
lands and that the one now in pro-
gress against Mr.. Gooding is only
a starter of what is to follow.

The "POOLS."
How They viii be Continued Under
the Interstate Commerce Bill,

the Interstate Commerce Bill.
As is generally known, the Inter
State Commerce bill is designed te
prevent "pooling" of rates and issue.
between railway corporations and al.
lied industries. But the monopolists
seem to have already found way to
neu,ralize the bill, as can be seen by
reading the following from the New
York Engineering and Mining Jour
nal Of March II;
On Monday, few gentlemen rep.
resenting most of the large anthracite
coal companies "met by chance" SO
it is stated, at the Office of another
gentleman who is prominent i'll the
trade. A box OF good cigars was
passed around, when common cour-
tesy compelled the callers to sit down
and smoke. Naturally, the meeting
hsviag occurred during business
hourss they began to stalk shop"
The opinions expressed, with but a
single exception, were, that it would
be both unwise and unnecessary to
reduce prices on April LIST, and it is
thought that the arguments used by
those in favor of this policy have
changed the views of the gentleman
who dissented.
Anything approaching a coal com
bination Tor this year is considered
out of the question, and the above
mentioned meeting is a sample of
what will become substitute.
The coal spool" is evidently tout
OF the wet" already. The railroads
will probably soon follow suit.
